Rimbaud said once: “Morality is the
weakness of the brain.” Conservatives
had long tried to censure artists
who transgressed ethic boundaries,
condemning them. But art wouldn’t be so
if no brave challengers were capable to
go futher. One of these agitators is artist
Slava Mogutin, one of the most daring
and brilliant photographers in the last
years. Born in Siberia, he was already
known at a very young as one of the
most polemic creators of his country. His
writings offended the Russian conservative
morallity in such a way that being just 21,
he had to exile to the USA with the support
of Amnesty International in order to avoid
imprisonment. According to authorities, his
writings showed: “propaganda of brutal
violence, psychic pathology, and sexual
perversions.”
